Global Climate Change Essay

Climate and Weather are both conditions of our atmosphere. Weather is a condition over short period of time, the degrees, if it’s raining, snowing, windy, etc. and climate is over long period of time, if you live in a more tropical place it would be more wet, humid, and hot. Climate is basically what the weather usually is the normal conditions in a place, a longer term of the average weather. Depending on where you live will determine what the climate is there and what kind of weather you will usually have and now sense there’s global warming and the colder places are getting warmer, warmer places are getting a blast of cold and polar ice caps are melting. So now It’s probably different climate and weather for many, many places than it was just four or five years ago. For examples If you live down south near the equator where it’s hot, like in Tampa, Florida your climate is humid and hot most the year and temperatures in the high 80’s and high 90’s. But if you live somewhere more up north closer to the north pole, like in Manchester, England it’s usually cold and raining most the year with temperatures of high 40’s and mid 60’s.

Global warming and climate change are not the same thing. All though a lot of newspapers, magazines and commercials use them so much it’s as if they were and many people believe that they are. Global warming actually is when the earth loses more energy than it’s suppose to gain. The Climate uses that energy that earth receives and the energy that is radiated away from the earth. When it is balanced correctly then the climate is more normally how it is and more stable. Climate change is a long period of a places average weather like said in the above sentences, but also it s...

Sea levels are also affected by global temperature change. Because the polar ice caps are melting and that’s causing more water to be on earth and causing our sea levels to rise. Our Sea levels have been rising and have risen 4 inches within the last century. Which causes less land for us because in will be overtaken by new water rising from the ice melting away. We’d have to go to higher grounds, the less the land the less people we can have. Ocean animals will be harmed when the cold water comes down if they're not suppose to be in cold water and cold water animals will be harmed because they're not suppose to be in warmer waters. The polar bears and other arctic animals will become extinct once there habitat is gone. Tectonic plates are affected too it doesn’t only move land but also the sea. It can cause tsunamis and earthquakes.
